Longer-form draft.
Transparency Alert: At the June 16 Hollis Planning Board meeting, officials moved into discussions regarding significant updates to town ordinances that were not included on the public agenda. Specifically, the Board discussed potential changes to open space and woodland preservation ordinances, including how the town handles tree preservation and clear-cutting. Because these topics were not listed on the agenda, residents were not given the opportunity to prepare for or participate in a discussion that could fundamentally change the rural character of our community. Furthermore, concerns regarding the Ridge Road Minor Subdivision remain a point of tension. During the meeting, neighbors expressed serious fears regarding PFAS contamination, septic runoff into drinking wells, and the protection of local wildlife like Blanding's turtles. While the Board accepted the application for further processing, they did not mandate the specific test pits requested by residents to verify soil-to-bedrock depth before the next meeting on July 21. We will continue to monitor how these ordinance changes are proposed and whether the Board will address the specific environmental safety requests made by the community. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/hollis/planning-board/2026-06-16/ #MeetingWatch #HollisNH
